Tricky one to map with a number of debutants but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. Tricky race with almost the entire field first-up or on debut. Hard to go past FROM THE BLOCK (2), who was favourite for a Saturday metropolitan maiden before failing to gain a start as an emergency. He's been placed multiple times in Hong Kong and his recent trials suggest he's better than maiden grade. He will take some beating. The Stephen Theodore-trained OLD MATE BLUEY (7) must be respected. The stable is flying and he is open to improvement at his second run for the stable. NOW EAST (6) was a late scratching on Saturday and gets another chance here. Happy to include the first starter ELITE THUNDER (5) in wider plays. SUGGESTED PLAY: Likely to be short but backing From The Block to win.
